Good stuff SB1. The boost gauge looks good in the A-Pillar. Have you seen Camp's?

 

I have and it's great looking, but I wish there was a non-carbon fiber option. And painting over carbon fiber would just seem like a waste. I was actually thinking of getting a triple guage pod and mounting it above the mirror if I can't find a good way to fit some guages into the A-pillar and have it look fairly factory. Have you had any more success getting yours dialed in? I enjoyed the youtube video. Your JK looks great. Was that a color matched Wildboar top I saw?

 

I wasn't crazy about the carbon fiber either. Wonder if it's plastic wrapped in a sheet of carbon fiber??? The A-Pillar really is the perfect spot for it. Maybe Camp will make some with plastic that matches the rest of the interior.

Yes, we made some adjustments at the shop and then some more at home after talking with RIPP. It went from 211hp to about 240hp. Picked up some extra torque too which was noticeable.

Yep, color-matched Wildboar. I think the rep said it was the only black one they've done. I really like it. It's my first hard top and i didn't realize there were so many other benefits; Music sounds better, it's much harder for thieves to break in, I can actually talk on the phone because it blocks most of the outside noise, it's easier to get to my rack from the back bumper now and it looks better.

Anyway, keep the RIPP data coming. Can't wait to read the daily update...

 

what adjustments did you make to gain 30 hp? just curious..

 

We tweaked the boost cooler settings and the methanol/water mix.

 

Nice, glad to hear to worked -

SB1 - What's the status? Any issues to report?

Mine has been acting weird lately at about 3200 RPM's (in every gear). It feels like it's not getting any fuel for about one second and then it catches at about 3,400 RPMs.

Last change was mixing the Water 60 to Meth 40 so I'm guessing it related to that but who knows...?

 

The weather here in Bethesda has been miserable and my MyGig installation has hit a few snags. Namely my GPS antenna didn't work, and my iPod cable has a shorted wire. Also, all the rain is keeping me from installing my backup camera. Jeep is too tall to fit into my little tiny garage in my old house, so bad weather really slows things down.

So, without playing with it much I can't give too much extra info, I can say it's been trouble free though so far, but this weekend I maybe drove it for 15 mins total. It's been rain non-stop and supposed to be that way for a few more days I think. I'm hoping by the weekend it'll improve I'm wanting to get out there and play with it a bit.

 

Hmm,

Since the Meth mix has been a variable for you based on having to mix it, disconnect the Meth controller and drive it without for a bit - switch it to the low octane setting for detonation protection.

Let us know.

 

I just got my Meth controller. What settings should I start with? What seems to work best for most of you?
